cup rack upwards.
You can then lean the tall glasses against it.
Alternatively, you can also remove it when it is not required
for use.

The spikes of the lower basket are used for holding plates
and platters. They can be lowered to make more room for
bulky items.
Preparing and Loading Dishes
• Consider buying utensils which are identified as
dishwasher-proof.
• For particular items, select a program with the lowest
possible temperature.
• To prevent damage, do not take glass and cutlery
out of the dishwasher immediately after the program
has ended.

• Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature
resistant
• Bonded cutlery items or dishes
• Pewter or cooper items
• Crystal glass
• Steel items subject to rusting
• Wooden platters
• Items made from synthetic fibers
Washing the following are of limited suitability:

number of washes

Recommendations for loading the dishwasher
Scrape off any large amounts of leftover food. Soften
remnants of burnt food in pans. It is not necessary to rinse
the dishes under running water.
For best performance of the dishwasher, follow these
loading guidelines.
Place objects in the dishwasher in following way:
• Items such as cups, glasses, pots, pans, etc. are faced
downwards.
• Curved items, or ones with recesses, should be loaded
aslant so that water can run off.
• All utensils are stacked securely and can not tip over.
• All utensils are placed in the way that the spray arms can
rotate freely during washing.
• Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. with
the opening facing downwards so that water cannot
collect in the container or a deep base.
• Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one
another, or cover each other.
• To avoid damage, glasses should not touch one another.
• The upper basket is designed to hold more delicate and
lighter dishware such as glasses, coffee and tea cups.
• Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a
potential hazard!
• Long and sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives
must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.
• Please do not overload your dishwasher. This is
important for good results and for reasonable
consumption of energy.
Note
Very small items should not be washed in the dishwasher
as they could easily fall out of the basket.
